BeetlesAny Idea what species this is?
See photo. It was found high in a maple tree in British Columbia six years ago. Thanks.

Hi Sandy,
We wanted to check with Eric Eaton on a species identification of your Long Horned Borer Beetle. Here are his conclusions: “Two possibilities: the spotted tree borer, Synaphaeta guexi, 12-20 mm, known to bore in maple; Neocanthocinus obliquus, 9-14 mm, which bores in pine. I am using a very old reference, so these insects may have different scientific names by now, I don’t know. There is no up-to-date reference for northwest beetles. Eric “
